That's talking rough about a nation which for genera_ tions has prided itself on being the world's greatist ag- gregation of salesmen. * * *

General Eaker was top air general for this country in Europe during the Second World War, lived in Houston for a time after the war, now lives in Los Angeles, and is Southern california director for the crusade for Freedom, fathered by that other great veteran, General Ike Eisen_ hower. His charge, staled "1"";, gives food for thought.

What did General Marshall mean? At a big Washing_ ton luncheon attended by the great and nbar_great just about the time he was made Secretary of Defense, tne fa_ mous General uttered a crack that doubled some of his au_ dience up with laughter, while some of the big Fair Dealers didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Mentioning the fact that the District of columbia does not vote, Marshail said, "The capital of the nation has no vote_and judging by the way the rest of the country has been voting, maybe it,s just as well." Since the country has been voting Democratic f.or 17 years, his remark was subject to many interpreta_ tions' * d< ,<

At the same luncheon General Clifton B. Cates, Corn_ mandant of the U. S. Marine Corps was given a big ova_ tion when he rose to speak, and with a dead pan he said, "We Marines don't mind being insulted, but we don,t like being ignored." ***

"Giving Moscow the ever-ready veto was like putting a light switch in a monkey cage,,, says the esteemed Arthur "Bugs" Baer. That's the best description o,f how Russia uses the veto that has yet been produced. And, boy, those monkeys have been working*that switch, haven't they?

If Gov. Dewey, of New york, had behind him the na_ tional propaganda machine that the Washington gang has, the headlines would have fairly burst asunder in reporting his recent remarks that caused Vishinsky, the head-hunter -to walk out of the room. It was a great United Nations dinner, and Dewey said in a few seconds the things the average Americans have been saying on the street "or."r, for a long time. He just told a simple truth about the mil_

lions of people held in slavery close to death in Russia. And Vishinsky, who used to chortle with unholy glee as he sent good Russians en masse to their deatJrs, .,couldn't take it." He walked out, his gang *following him.

I mentioned the Washington propaganda machine be_ cause, as all men know, it is neither Stalin, nor, as Mr. Truman so unwisely said, the Marines, that has the mighty publicity machine. It is the federal government in Washington, that employs the greatest army of professional pub- licists on earth. According to the House Appropriations Committee the Administration executive family has more than 45 thousand part-time and full-time employees, most of whom spend their time selling the administration and its works to our people. Their activities are described as "educational, informative, promotional, and publicizing.', Ttiey grind out releases for the press, write speeches, wrlte books, and make movies. The cost of their services has been estimated at arouttd 25 million dollars annually.

"Every dollar we spend needlessly, is a dollar deposited in the bank account of Joe Stalin,,' said Senator Martin, of Pennsylvania recently, in pleading for some real economy here at home' + {< *

Mr. Burton Rascoe, popular writer, recently hit the head_ lines with this niftie, "I have been living under a state of national emergency now for 17 years. Is there no way in which we can emerge U"f 1n emergenry?,'

An American humorist is reported to have been asked the difference between a Communist and a Nazi, and he answered, "Either of them will sell you his mother; the difference is, the Communist will deliver her.',

Thomas M. McCabe, chairman of the board of governors of our Federal Reserve System, told a convention in Bos_ ton the other day that alarming symptoms of inflation are evident at present, and .'the outlook for a serious infa_ tionary spiral is foreboding.', He said that infation is not just around the corner. It is*HERE.

Tons of stuff is being printed right now concerning our efforts to re-arm Europe, or to help her to re-arm against Communist aggression. We are trying to induce the Eu_ rope?ns to get busy and help themselves. They are very casual on that subject. The Wall Street Journal editorially remarks that "we are somewhat like the policeman who risks drowning himself to save a man who is not even interested in swimming."

"Our apathy and lethargy in the past have permitted the Communists to do a better job of SELLING SLAVERY, than we have done of SELLING FREEDOM.', -*"a.*O.f,.ral Ira C. Eaker.

PIONTER.FlINTKOTE

The best descriptions I have heard of the attitude of Europe toward helping herself in these vital times, are those I get from unomcial Americans of high intelligence who go over there and form their own opinions. One such, just returned, describes the European situation tersely in this way: "Europeans are tired. They think there will soon be another World War, but they don't intend to fight. They will leave that to the United States.,,

And it seems to me that every citizen who returns from Europe is of the opinion that Europe has gone soft under the Santa Claus beneficence of the Marshall plan, and sees no reason for doing anything for themselves when their rich cousin from across the Atlantic is willing to do it all. I believe if the American nation could go to the polls and cast a vote about European help, their practically unani_ mous decision would be: "Quit doing things for them. Help those who help themselves-and only those. Don't try to carry all the military, financial, and economic burdens of the world on our shoulders. \Me can't help humanity by weakening ourselves, and we can,t support and defend all the lazy and, unfortunate people of the world.',

I believe that if Mr. John and Mrs. Jane American could have their say about world matters right now, they would speak after this fashion: "From this time on, let's do our share, and insist that the rest of the world do theirs. Let us not furnish all the money, all the materials, all the food, all the armies, all the blood, all the casualties for a world of two and one-half billions of people. Let's quit giving away money and things to all the out-stretched itching palms of the world, and ask nothing in return. Once this was a practical nation. Let's go back to being one. Let's show some of that so-called ,yankee common sense' we once owned and believed in. Let's stop sending our boys out to die wherever and whenever Joe Stalin decides. Let's quit playing Santa Claus to a world that thinks we are suckers for doing so. Let's concentrate of what is best for America and for Americans for a change. Let,s go back to some extent at least to the fundamental principles that made this nation great, such as thrift, economy, the payment of just debts, the knowledge that debt is danger. Let's finance .our own system of national defense so that no otJrernation will dare to insult us, and let's pay for that protection as we go, and stop building up national indebt_

edness that can only be destructive in the long run. Let's stop squandering our substance here at home. Lets cut to the quick such unsound and evil things as wholesale .subsidies and bounties which have no place in the life of a free people. Let's quit being New Dealers and Fair Dealers with all their fanciful fooleries and creeping socialism, and go back to being just Americans again. And let's start all these things the minute the Korean matter is disposed of. In the name of the God that made America and kept her to this good day, let us do these things."

:8**

Remember-and tell your kids, your neighbors, and your friends--what Lincoln said when he was asked at what point Americans might expect national danger. He said, "At what point is the approach of danger to be expected?

IF IT REACHES US, IT MUST SPRING FROM AMONGST US.''

Let every one of us pray "without ceasing" as the Bible advises, that we may elect men to ofiEce in this country who will put love of country above everything else. This is no time to elect politicians. We need patriots, for there is much to be done, and the j"a"_ * this nation is at stake.

Cast aside as folderol the advice of the courthouse t5rpe of politicians who say, "vote the ticket straight,,, ana fol_ low that of a great American named Thomas Jefferson, who said, "If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all."

Governmcnt Puts Rigid Curb on New Homes

Washington, Oct. 10.-The government today ordered tight controls on home mortgage credit, effective Thursd.y'

The terms require non-veterans to make cash down payments ranging from 10 per cent on.houses costing under $5000 to 50 per cent on houses priced f.rom $24,250 up. Down payments for veterans will run from five to 45 per cent.

Mortgages will have to be paid off within 20 years, with one exception:25 years will be allowed to pay off on houses valued below $7000.

Raymond E. Foley, head of the Housing and Home Financing Agency (H. H. F. A.) said that will boost monthly payments on mortgages by cutting about five years off the prevailing pay-off limits for private and governmentbacked mortgages alike.

The controls apply only to one and two-family houses -not apartment projects, or store or factory constiuction, for which other regulations are being considered.

The controls are aimed at cutting the pace of homebuilding from the present record rate of 1,300,000 a year to "not more than 800,00O" in 1951.

So far as bank or other private mortgages are concerned,

the control terms apply not to started since'"noon on Aug. 3" commitments made before that

existing and not date.

Peoples Lumber Company of Ventura

ls Now Sixty Years Old

About sixty years and a few months ago a Ventura County (California) rancher named Charles J. Dailey, rvas audibly kicking to some of his friends in the town of Ventura about having to haul his lumber in from Santa Barbara, three <lays'expensive haul away, and he declared, "It's about time the people of Ventura County had a lumber yard of their own."

Another local citizen named C. D. Bonestal overheard this remark, and it started him thinking. Also acting. The result was that he called a meetdays later, and this group there Peoples Lumber Company, and yard. A picture of that first yard

is found rvith this story. That happened on September 13, 1890. The original capital stock of the company was $20,000, and there were just three employees in the yard. On October 2, 1890, the new concern was incorporated, with many local citizens subscribing for stock. And The Peoples Lumber Company has been in truth and in fact a stock company ever since. Today it has 346 shareholders, 233 of whom are Ventura citizens. The present capitalization is $900,000. Ventura is the company headquarters.

C. D. Bonestal, who organized the company, became its first president and general manager. He ran the business the first two years, then turned the active management over to his son, W. A. Bonestal, who ran the business until 19M. The elder Bonestal continued as president of the company until 1903. Presidents of the concern who followed Mr. BonestJl were : C. H. McKevett, 1903-5; D. T. Perkins, 1905-19; J. IU.Sharp, 1919-31;G. W. Corbett, 1931-4O; and Adolfo Camarillo, who remains there today.

Other generations of the Bonestal family have been identified r.vith the management of the company. As stated,

C. D. Bonestal was succeeded as general manager by his son, \M. A. Bonestal. He was succeeded in the management by CharlEs Miller, and then W. A. Bonestal took over again, to be followedin l9Z4 by C. E. Bonestal, grandson of the founder, who served from 1924 to 19€, when he was succeeded by Ben W. Bartels, the present general manager. as well as secretary and treasurer of the concern.

Today's officers of The Peoples Lumber Company are: Adolfo Camarillo, president; H. S. Corbett, first vice president; A. J. Dingeman, second vice president; C. A. Lind, secretary; Ben W. Bartels, assistant secretary and treasurer; and three additional dire,ctors, H. H. Eastwood. John C. Crump, and C. E. Bonestfl. Wayne L. Clark is general counsel.

very fine new plant at Oxnard was written up and illustrated in a story in the THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT early in 1949. Here E. J. Thompson manag'es one of the finest retail lumber plants in California.

Ben W. Bartels is general manager of the affairs of the company, and likewise manager of the Ventura yard. He started with the company in 1934, started at the bottom and learned the retail lumber business the hard way, in the Oxnard yard. He was promoted to the sales department in Oxnard, and then to the position of sales manager at Ventura. He was assistant general manager for one year before C. E,. Bonestal retired, and then was made general manager in 1948.

The managers of the yards other than those at Ventura and Oxnard are : \Mm. Winfield, Santa Susana; Sid Mercer, Ojai; Bert Roderick, Fillmore; Jack Cline, Santa Paula; Ted Lemon, Moorpark.

So this is the sixty year story of The Peoples Lumber Company. It has been in business for sixty years at one place, under the same original name, under the same ownership, and using the same original corporate seal, which is a record approached by very few lumber con,cerns in California.

The history of this company is one of steady growth, steadfastness of purpose, high business principles, and continual helpfulness to the county it serves. There is written into the history of the company many remarkable stories, of rvhich the following is typical of pioneering: In 1892

As stated, up to the time The Peoples Lumber Company started business at Ventura, all lumber and building materials were hauled into Ventura County in wagons. The new yard changed all that. Lumber was brought to the ,coast by boat, and unloaded at a small pier on the coast. Often the arrival of boats at the dock was delayed by storm. Later the company added a small bran,ch lumber yard at Port Hueneme. Here the lumber boats came as close in as possible, and then pushed the lumber ofi into the sea at high tide, to be floated up on the beach. Things were mighty primitive in those days. But the lumber came in, and the building of Ventura County went on rapidly.

Gradually The Peoples Lumber Company enlarged its string of lumber yard:i to eight, those besides Ventura being located at Oxnard, Santa Paula, Fillmore, Ojai, Moorpark, Camarillo, and Santa Susana. Its slogan becameand still is-eight yards to serve Ventura County. From the start until today these yards follow the policy of doing business only in that county. These eight yards, covering from five to seven acres each, are all "one-stop" building service stations, handling and stocking everything for the builder from foundation to finish hardware. Ea,ch yard has a small service mill department, and in the central yard at Ventura they have a large and modern planing mill and cabinet shop rvhich serves all the company yards.

All the yards are modern in equipment and service. The

the Ojai-Ventura Railroad was being built, and it ran out of cash. It appears that it needed just $600, and the railroad asked the lumber company for the loan of that amount. The loan was granted, and it was written into the minutes of the lumber company that if the stockholders failed to approve the loan, the directors promised to personally pay the $600. No one objected, and the railroad was finished.

Helpfulness of many kinds has marked the entire lifetime of the company. It has contributed enormously to the building of Ventura County as it is today. A useful, honorable, and respected institution it has been for sixty years. Some record !

More Douglas Fir Plywood lor Civilian Uses in 1950

Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 2. Notwithstanding growing military purchases, there is more Douglas fir plywood for civilian uses in 1950 then ever before with production today at the record level volume of about 50,000,000 square feet a week.

That is the statement issued here today by O. Harry Schrader, Jr., managing director of Douglas Fir Plywood Association, the trade-promotion association which represents the 58-factory fir plywood industry of Washington, Oregon and California.

"Plywood manufacturers are self-committed to supply all critical military and atomic energy needs, and manufacturers individually are working ,closely with the Army Corps of Engineers, the central procurement agency for the services," Schrader reviewed. "Meantime, reports to us from the field indicate that plywood distributors everywhere are locally supplying the military and prime contractors for the armed services.

"Military needs of the nation, including both direct Army purchases and contractors supplying material, now are expected to amount to about l5/o of. the Douglas fir plywood produced during the remainder of 1950," Schrader said after conferences at Washington, D. C., with military purchasing agencies.

This constitutes a big jump from pre-Korea military needs and far greater purchases than have been made during the first 90 days of war in Asia. "'Military needs arc not fixed, of course, and may wel[ grow in the year ahead, but any rumors circulating that the military is now taking the bulk of Douglas fir plywood simply are false," he added.

It is true, Schrader made clear, that buying of plywood for defense and war needs has aggravated a tight supply situation. "Plywood is basi,cally a peacetime material-for homes, buildings, railroad cars, farm structures, furniture, packaging and boats. With construction and industrial production at record highs, demand for plywood for civilian uses is unprecedented, and plywood usefulness continues to grow and spread."

Right now, a pressing demand for plywood is for buildand rebuilding railroad cars and highway trucks as transportation facilities are overtaxed. Con,currently, box car shortages hamper plywood distribution

Plywood stocks throughout the nation have been low all year because the upsurge in business from the 1949 slack period caught plywood distributors and lumber dealers with their stocks down. Strong civilian demand has prevented complete rebuilding of such stocks.

Because plywood stocks generally are below what would be carried to conduct day-by-day business in supplying every corner of the nation, it seems unlikely that new government inventory control order will have measurable immediate affect on plywood, the spokesman commented. He was referring to the National Production Authority regulation 1 issued recently requiring that stocks of many essential materials, including plywood, be kept to the "lowest practicable working inventory."

Overall production of Douglas fir plywood in 1950 will approach 2,300,000,000 square feet, Spokesman Schrader made known, This constitutes a' 15% increase over the previous record output of 1949.

Forest Service Sells Arizona Pine

T:mber For Record Breaking Price

All records for Ponderosa pine sales were broken recently when the United States Forest Service sold 168,000,000 feet of Arizona pine, mostly Ponderosa, for $45.10 per thousand. The tract is the last great unit of virgin Ponderosa in the Southwest territory, and is part of the North Kaibab National Forest.

Bids had been called for, and were opened by the Forest Service authorities at Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the successful bidder was Whiting Brothers Lumber Company, of Holbrook, Ar\2. There were several other bidders for the timber, which stands on a forty thousand acre tract of land.

It is expected that the successful bidders will build a modern sawmill at Fredonia, Arizona, to manufacture the timber, which will be harvested on a sustaixed yield basis. A road to reach the tract is being constructed at the present time. It will be 23 miles long and will cost about $200,000 to build.

It is reported that the highest previous price ever paid for pine timber in this area was $33 a thousand.

There is a total of about four billion feet of timber of all kinds, species, and sizes in the Kaibab National Forest, which includes Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, spruce, and Alpine fir.

AEC and Military Receive Priorities

lVashington, Oct. 3-The Defense Department and the Atomic E,nergy Commission received first clll today on the nation's productive capacity and raw materials.

Under a priorities system issued by. the National Production Authority last night, a manufacturer must u...pt military or atomic orders and fill them without delayeven if it means shunting aside his output of automobiles, refrigerators or other civilian goods.

In turn he would have the right to compel his subcontractors and suppliers to put him ahead of their other customers on items and services needed to fill the government order,

The system, effective immediately, was authorized by the new home front mobilization law. It covers practically all rnaterials necessary to the rearmament program except electric power, farm equipment, fuels, S?S, petroleum or transportation-items under the control of other governnrent agencies.

Officials said these agencies have authority to clamp priorities on the excluded items should any shortages develop. None are foreseen nolv.

Benson Lumber Company of San Diego Will Liquidate

Announcement has'been made in San Diego of the approaching liquidation of the Benson Lumber Company, of that city. This concern operated a sawmill plant on the Sigsb:e Street docks .from 1907 until 1946, when economic conditions caused the permanent closing of the mill. Since that time the company has been operating a retail and brokerage lumber business.

The mill was built in 1906 and 1907, mostly from timbers that wer: brought in..great rafts from the Columbia River. From that time on th'ese rafts of iogs were towed by big barges from the Northr,vrst territory to San Diego. They were mighty affairs. At one time THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT published pictures of a lumber

convention held on one of them, which contained five million feet of logs. Such log supply grew continually more difficult and uneconomical, and the mill gradually slowed down, and in 1946 it blew its last whistl:. In its heyday the mill manufactured more than 20 million feet of lumber annually.

Frank Lynch is president of the Benson Lumber Company, and announcement of the approaching liquidation comes from him.

Loop Lumber Co. Closes Scrn Frqncirsco Yard Next Month

Al Nolan Completes 40 Years With Pacilic Lumber Company

Al started the hard way in the lumber business. He put in a year at the big Scotia mill, and then came back.to San Francisco. He left in l9l7 to join the Air Force in World War I. Following ground school at the University of California he trained at Kelly Field and complited his pilot's training at Ebert's Field, I oanoke,,Arkansas.

After his military service he returned to the job with Pacific at San Francisco. He made steady progress in his work, and for many years has been Western sales manager. What he values most is the host of friends he has made in and out of the lumber business.

Al is a native San Franciscan, having been born there May 11, 1891. After graduation,from St. Ignatius College (now lJniversity of San Francisco) he went to work for The Pacific Lumber Company. He was married in 1923. He and Mrs. Nolan have one daughter, Mrs. Robert Norman Maclean, who is the wife of a prominent San Francisco attorney.

He is an enthusiastic golfer, is a member of the Olympic Club at Lakeside, and takes an active part in golf affairs of the Club. He lives in San Francisco.

A fine Irishman, lumberman, and citizen is Al Nolan; and a gallant gentleman.

This young looking veteran, Atbert J. Nolan, completed 4O years' service with The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, on September 10. He started to work at pacific's San Francisco yard on September 10, 1910.

Al recalls the days when lumber handlers worked 9 hours a day, six days a week at the San Francisco yard, at $2.50 a day. At Scotia the wages in 1916 were 35 cents an hour, with a l0-hour day, and only two holidays, Christmas and the 4th of July.

He also recalls that the.company operated five steam schooners in 1915. Three of these sailed to Los Angeles, one to San Francisco, and one to Oakland, carrying lumber for the yards then operated by Pacific in the three cities. These yards were closed when the railroad was built through to Eureka. The boats were named the Aberdeen, Dispatch, the Tempel E. Dorr, the Wm. H. Murphy, and the Prentice. They carried many carloads of building materials north for construction of Mill B, the dry kilns and other structures, and Al was super,cargo, taking care of all the freight that was shipped north up to the time the railroad was completed.

The Speech OI A Wise Indicrn

(The following is part of a speech of the famous Indian chief, Red Jacket, replying to a white missionary who had come to talk religion to the Seneca Indian Tribe.)

"You say that you are sent to instruct us. how to worship the Great Spirit agreeably to His mind; and, if we do not take hold of the religion which you white people teach, we will be unhappy hereafter. You say that you are right, and we are lost. How do we know this to be true? We understand that your religion is written in a book. If it was intended for us as well as you, why has not the Great Spirit given it to us as well as to you, and why did He not give to our forefathers the knowledge of this book with the means of understanding it rightly? We only know what you tell us about it. How shall we know when to believe, being so often deceived by the white people?

"Brother, you say there is but one way to worship and serve the Great Spirit. If there is but one religion, why do you white people differ so much about it? Why not all agree, as you can all read the book? Brother, we do not understand these things. We are told that your religion was given to your forefathers and has been handed down from father to son. We also have a religion which was given our forefathers, and has been handed down to us, their children. It teaches us to be thankful for all the favors we receive, to love each other, and to be united. We never quarrel abotrt religion.

"Brother, the Great Spirit has made us all, but He has made a difference between his white and His red children. He has given us different complexions and different customs. To you He has given the arts. To these He has not opened our eyes. We know these things to be true. Since He has made so great a difference b,etween us in other ways, why may we not conclude that He has given us a different religion according to our understanding? The Great Spirit does right. He knows what is best for His children; we are satisfied. Brother, we do not wish to destroy your religion or take it from you. We only want to enjoy our own.

"Brother, we are told that you have been pleaching to the white people in this place. These people are our neighbors. We are acquainted with them. We will wait a little while and see what effect your preaching has upon them. If we find it does them good, makes them more honest and less disposed to cheat Indians, we will consider again what you have said. Brother, you have now heard our answer to your talk, and this is all we have to say at present. As we are going to part we will come and take you by the hand, and hope the Great Spirit will protect you on, your journey, and return you safe to your friends."

Mcrtter oI Choice

A red hound was howling mournfully, while his mountaineer master chewed tobacco and half-slept. A passer-by said to him:

"What's the matter with your dog?"

The mountaineer said, "They's nuthin'wrong with him. He's jest sittin' on a burr, an' he's too lazy to git offin it.,'

Business As Usucl

I feel there is only one method, That honesty pays in the end, That truth in travail, will triumph, That money is not worth a friend; Integrity-finest of virtues, Fairness-has worthwhile appealI'd better shut up all this nonsense Before I lose out on some deal.

Discretion of speech is more than eloquence. Bacon. A wise man in time of peace prepares for war. F{orace. To err is human, to forgive divine. Pope. Mockery is the fume of little hearts. Tennyson. Nothing is more terrifying than ignorance in action. Goethe.

Of all the virtues, gratitude has the shortest memory. Walpole.

J. H. Baxter & Co. Purchases Rights lor Weste]n States

To Chemonite Process for \(/ood Preservation

C. A. Chadbourne, general manager of J. H. Baxter & Co., San Francisco, today announ,ced that J. H. Baxter & Co. has purchased from Dr. Aaron Gordon his rights to the Chemonite process for wood preservation for the states west of the Mississippi. Mr. Chadbourne says that the Chemonite process, developed over a period of years by Dr. Gordon and associates at the Universitv of Califbrnia, is the most outstanding development in the timber preservation field since creosote was first used for this purpose. It is suitable for the treatment of poles and piling as well as lumber.

Service records and tests by governmental agencies and private users show Chemonite to be outstanding in many particulars. Recent availability of improved chemicals, including technically pure copper hydroxide, permits the Chemonite process to produce treated material which is clean, odorless, paintable, and non-conductive to electrical current as well as being a permanently insoluble preservative. The Federal Government has included Chemonite in the new issue of the Federal Specifications, and manJ' prominent western utility and manufacturing organizations as rvell as American Association of State Highway Officials include it in their regular spe,cifications.

Small Politicians Yersus Big Business

(The following ore excerpts from an address delivered by Benjamin F. Fairless,'president of the United States Steel Corporation.)

"Some day I hope to get back to Pittsburg long enough to find out tvhat's happened to the steel business.

"But the past few months I have been specializing in Washington investigations of 'Big Business,' and Washington has certainly been specializing in me. From the time the United States Steel Corporation was organized 50 years ago it has lleen subjected to almost constant investigation by various agencies of the Government, and for the past ten years I, myself, have been on the business end of most of these investigations. I have been through so many Congressional investigations that no self-respecting skeleton would hide in my closet on a bet.

"I am not an alarmist, yet I am gravely disturbed by what I have seen. In my opinion our American economic system is in deadly peril today from self-styled 'friends'in Washington who would literally hack it to death on the pretext of saving its immortal soul. If these misguided planners and politically ambitious officeholders have their way, three of our most precious liberties-freedom of op-

portunity, freedom of initiative, and freedom of enterprise -will vanish from this earth.

"These self-appointed saviors of our national welfare seem always to miss the point: that our system of free enterprise is the only one left in the world that is not controlled by power-hungry politicians; and that once the dead hand of politics gets its convulsive grip on American industry, free competition will be strangled and our economic system will be no different from those which are crumbling in Europe.

"f wonder if it isn't time to have a new Congressional investigation that will hale before it all the Government agencies and Congressional investigating committees which seem to be trying t'o destroy the finest and the only successful economic system in the world today, and fini out just what public interest THEY are serving !

"In short, I wonder if it isn't time to get back on our highway to progress and growth and production, before we get mired and lost forever on a detour to lJtopia !,,

Pine Lumbermen Meet at Anderson

Anderson, Calif., Sept. 23-Approximately 200 pine lumber mill managers, shipping superintendents and graders from throughout northern California were gathered at- this important production center today for a seminar on industry grading methods held under the auspices of the Western Pine Ass'n.

Vern Johnson, veteran' head of the organization,s lumber inspection force rvhich makes monthly grading checks at all association member mills, conducted the meeting held at the Ralph L. Smith Lumber company mill.

The convening lumbermen watched Johnson inspect borderline pieces, determine the grade, explain the reasons for classification of each board and discuss the preparation of lumber for shipment. An open forum period follorved.

GEORGE CTOUGH

WI LUMBER

GOOD LUMBER from selected mills, properly manufactured, acc urately handled is the type of SERVICE we give our customers.

We realize certain conditions have been TOUGH during the past several weeks and we have exerted every effort to render that UNSURPASSED SERVICE to our trade. This, of course, gives us a measure of satisfaction when you depend on us.

STOP END SPTITTING

"Our meeting here," Johnson said, "is one of a series we hold each year to promote better understanding of uniform grading by all western pine shippers. We find these get-togethers i nvaluable for ironing out slight variations in grading practices, reviewing the reasons for accurate grading and stimulating enthusiasm among all grading personnel."

The Ralph L. Smith company was host at a buffet lunch served on the mill grounds. Aiding Johnson in the demonstration were Earle Atchinson, assistant chief inspector for the pine association.

The type of service we give is not an accident because we work at it twenty four hours each day. We try to put real value into each and every order-so it will be refected in the extra dollar profit for the folks who depend on us to keep their inventory at the proper level.

Regardless what your reguirements may bewe have such extensive mill connections we should be able to satisfy your needs. Why not call us TODAY and let us help you with your procurement problems?.
